We were in room 206 which had 2 large comfortable beds as well as a couch and chair making it the perfect room to spend time in. The hotel is about a 5 minute cab ride from the center of town and takes you away from the touristy area. A cab is readily available if required and we also enjoyed the 30 minute walk through the countryside to the town. The hotel is homey and comfortable like an English establishment with many areas to sit inside and outside to relax. We did not try the dinners as we wanted to experience the local atmosphere and restaurants but based upon the amazing breakfast we think that the dinners would be excellent.
